Cars, cars, cars,

As you might have noticed I haven’t been writing a lot lately. You probably haven’t noticed, but hey, I have to start my story somewhere. Not like there was a lot to write about. The last three races were boring as hell, except for the one in Canada! If anyone couldn’t enjoy that much excitement, they should have their heads examined. Personally I think it’s too late to talk about races from ages ago and there isn’t much to say about the last race. Or was there? Was Magny Cours fun after all? I’m afraid not, though there’s something I can say about it. For starters the ‘Dutch fuck up of the year’ raced again.


Alesi owns a fiat 500 ...


You guessed right: JOS THE GRAVEL TRAP EXPERT was back. He took Magnussen’s seat and I’m not sure that was the smartest thing to do for Mr. Stewart, especially considering that first start. Jos hadn’t raced in a long time, so maybe he just forgot what to do during a race start. Namely start!!!!. He stalled the car, which meant there had to be a restart. Thanks a lot Jos, you’ve proven yourself yet again. Basically that’s all that happened during the entire race. Only the end was slightly more exciting, but since everyone was asleep by then or polishing their nails we didn’t quite see that. Better luck next time.


...and a Ferrari F40

While we’re on the subject of cars, why not talk about what cars the formula one boys own? I’m not going to discuss every driver, just the spectacular, or really strange ones. One thing’s for sure, Ferrari is a very popular car with these guys.

ALESI: FIAT 500
FERRARI F40
FERRARI 456GT
F1 FERRARI from 1991
ROLLS ROYCE from before the war

IRVINE: FERRARI 355
FERRARI 288 GTO

SCHUMI: FERRARI F40
FERRARI 456GT
BUGATI EB 112
MERCEDES STATION WAGON for his five or six dogs
FIAT 500
And some Harley Davidsons.

HILL: RENAULT LAGUNA
RENAULT ESPACE (Boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
And some motorcycles.

VILLENEUVE: a modified old CAMARO Z 28

No worries boys and girls, of course they own more cars, but these are the ones I’m sure about , although some of them could no longer be relevant. In my eyes Alesi is the big winner, but isn’t he always?
